Hadith 16736

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibnal-Khattab was eating bread with ghee. He summoned one of the desertpeople and he began to eat and follow the grease in the dish with amorsel of bread. Umar said, "It is as if you were poor." He said, "ByAllah. I have not eaten ghee nor have I seen food with it since such-and-such a time." Umar declared, "I shall not eat clarified butteruntil people are given life again like they were first given life,"(i.e. on the Day of Rising.)
